Default Dana 30 with 35" tires. How weak is it really?

Im running the stock Dana 30 currently with no sleeves, trusses, or gussets. I do have Synergy BJs, tie rod, drag link, and a teraflex track bar. How weak is the 30 really going to be with 35s? Do I need to worry about hitting small bumps in the road or going too fast down a dirt road or is the problem more so from dropping off rocks and stuff like that?

Ive been a little scared to go much over 15 mph down average dirt roads just because i dont really know how bad the stock 30 is.

I have 35" km2's on my Jeep with a bone stock d30 front end. I've had no issues whatsoever in the almost 2 years that I've had it. This is a dd that has seen moderate offroad and mud use, nothing crazy. It's not made of glass.

stronger axle than most think, I've run several sets of 35's on my stock 30 for years, never have encountered an issue wheeling yet
